6 games in.....

99 rushes, 389 rushing yards, 3.9 per carry, 4 rushing TDs

The 3 COMBINED are on pace for a total of

1037 rushing yards. The most highly invested and paid backfield in NFL history.....Hurney fugging magic indeed.

Oh CRA, how I hate you so...

For what.....

Oh, bc it is yet another thing I went on and on and on about.....and I look to be right?

Kinda like we should draft Luke bc he is a stud and Beason wouldn't likely be healthy? D sure looks good enough to win some games with rookie Luke in the middle if you ask me.

What do you do with 2RBS? You run the hell out of them with fresh legs. Sub them in and out. Remember when we had 2 1,000 yard rushers? (Hard to read but I took that in 2009)

What do you do with 3RBS? You use one as a badass FB.

What do you do with 3RBS and the best running QB in the league? You run the freaking wishbone or I formation or some damn thing once in a while. get these guys on the field. It's a bunch of talent.

Figure it out Chud

So this could work but we are running so many shotgun plays. We need play action and misdirection out of under center formations to utilize this backfield.

Well, nothing suggests our coaching regime wants anything to do with that....never has.

That is the problem.....Hurney wants X and coaches want Y = fail. Doesn't matter which side you take....it is a front office failure. Not a Cam issue, DeAngelo issue, Steve Smith or Jordan Gross one.....offensive players basically overall are put in a position to fail. They have proven they aren't going to overcome that.....

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
